Plan diagram of Adam's laboratory robotic system. Layout diagram of Adam's laboratory robotic system, comprising: [1] Liconic STR602 freezer, [2] Caliper Presto liquid handler, [3] Thermo 384 multidrop, [4] two Caliper Twister II robot arms, [5] Caliper Sciclone i1000 liquid handler, [6] Bio-Tek ELx405 plate washer, [7] Agilent (Velocity 11) VSpin plate centrifuge, [8] three Liconic STX40 incubators, [9]> two Molecular Devices Spectramax 190 plate readers, [10] Variomag plate shaker, [11] IAI Corporation Scara robot arm, [12] two pneumatically actuated plate slides, [13] two high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, and [14] aluminium and rigid transparent plastic enclosure. There are also four computers controlling the robotics, plus a networked computer server which runs all the other code vital to Adam's function: the metabolism model, bioinfomatics, hypothesis generation, experiment planning, results relational database, data analysis etc. (not shown).
